What to do if cron job isn't working? I added the backup script to my cron.weekly 9 days ago and it still hasn't ran the script. Any ideas to why this isn't running on its own?

Thanks

Have you checked your logs to make sure that it isn't running and just encountering an error?

Try running the job manually from the command prompt and see what output you get.

If I run the script manually it works perfectly. I had this before just never thought anything of it. It was a script dropped in the cron.daily and worked fine if I manually did it but it won't cron it daily on it's own...

Can you post the crontab?? Check the file permissions too.
